Auditions are open only to students in grades 9-12 during the 2024-25 school year.

Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady and her friends devise a "Revenge Party" to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.

Adapted from Tina Fey's hit 2004 film, Mean Girls was nominated for a staggering 12 Tony Awards.  This queen-bee took Broadway by storm and has joined the musical in-crowd.

It’s 1959, and Rydell High School’s senior class is in rare form. The too-cool-for-school “Burger Palace Boys” are stealing hub-caps and acting tough and their gum-snapping, chain-smoking “Pink Ladies” are looking hot in bobby sox and pedal pushers. The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be rebellious, and provocative. At the heart of the story is the romance between hot-rodding gangster Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy Dumbrowski. Through such hit songs as "Greased Lightnin'," and "We Go Together,” Grease: Sr. is an edited version of the full production.

This show will be performed in the VACT Theater at 103 Lincoln Street.

Audition registration will open sometime in January. The registration opening date will be announced on our social media pages, and this website, but save the dates:

• Auditions: Monday, February 17th, beginning at 6:30PM

• Rehearsals will be held on Wednesdays and Thursdays every week, beginning February 26th.

• Rehearsal attendance requirements will be somewhat flexible, as we know there are many who travel during this time of year.
